Default Is it Legal?

According to the Supreme Court's decision Monday, having and using the software is perfectly legal. But if you use LimeWire or any other P2P software to violate copyrights, then you are endangering the very company that provided you the software.

The music-recording industry (RIAA) and the movie industry (MPAA) are getting really serious about enforcing their copyrights. The simple solution is to *stop sharing copyrighted material*.

But so long as you are not violating copyrights, you are free to use file sharing. File sharing is not itself illegal.

Love,
Rick
